Good grief—enough hyperbole already!! Everybody agrees
KKK-bad
Racism-bad
Slavery-bad
Lincoln could NOT have fought against the KKK!! They weren’t even formed until AFTER the Civil War!!
Yet everyone does not agree as of yet that the southern rebels were bad.
That the Confederacy was bad!
Yet it was the southern rebel democrats who formed the KKK, fought to uphold slavery, and then continued that legacy for years upon years to come.
It is this thread even that started the hyberbole by calling President Lincoln a terrorist and praising the man who assinated him.
So it is those who support the premise of this thread that should stop the hyberbole already!!!! They still suffer from Lincoln Derangement Syndrome and still do not get it!
Yet also the southern rebels utilized an Outlaw mentality (or a libertarian mentality depending upon your point of view) to terrorize Union towns and murder their people because they felt it was there right to be against the Constitution.
The KKK was the logical next step of the southern rebel mentality and very shortly followed formed by southern rebels.
